What are electric crepe makers?
A classic crepe maker is similar to a portable hotplate , in which on the top of the appliance there are no burners, but just a metal plate with a non-stick coating. On this surface are from 1 to 6 recesses for baking pancakes. The device heats up thanks to the built-in heating element (TENU), there is also a thermostat that maintains the desired temperature.
Cooked dough with a measuring spoon is poured into the recesses, after a few minutes the pancakes are turned over with a special spatula.
Depending on the pancake model, it turns out either 1 huge pancake with a diameter of 30 cm, or 6 small pancakes, similar in size.
The price of a classic crepe maker is from 1450 to 9000 rubles.
Immersion electric crepe maker resembles an ordinary convex pan. Inside there is a heater and a thermostat that controls the degree of heating of the working surface.
The dough is poured into a special bowl (from the kit). The appliance is plugged in and heated. When the indicator light goes out, the crepe maker is turned upside down, dipped in a little dough and held for several seconds. Then it is turned over and put on the table. After 1-2 minutes, the pancake is removed with a spatula.
The size of the resulting product is 20 cm (like a regular Russian pancake).
